178. Sales Tips for Solopreneurs Who Hate Selling with Nikki Rausch

What if selling didn’t feel salesy at all?

In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly and Joe sit down with the brilliant Nikki Rausch, creator of the Selling Staircase and queen of relationship selling. Nikki breaks down how to ditch the pushy tactics and build trust through smart questions, real conversations, and—get this—actually asking permission to sell. (Novel concept, right?)

She spills the tea on the biggest sales mistakes people make (yes, those cringey LinkedIn messages) and how to flip the script with connection-first strategies that feel genuinely good—even if you’re totally allergic to sales.

Oh, and she’s got thoughts on why every solopreneur needs a high-ticket offer (and how to anchor it the right way).

Whether you’re new to sales or just tired of the icky stuff, this one’s going to be your secret weapon.
